Chapter 1185: First Meeting with the Commander ③
Yang Sikang did not answer immediately, but smiled softly:
"So you two are waiting here."
“But it’s also true.”
Saratoga said:
"This matter cannot be dealt with by bypassing other departments. Commander Yang, you should also be aware of this. Moreover, if we don't have a foundation to support us, it will not be easy for us to convince other people in the headquarters who have opposing opinions."
After a pause, Saratoga continued:
"But indeed, we do hope to learn more about your skills."
Saratoga did not hide anything, so Yang Sikang didn't care much about it.
Since he had done those things, he was naturally mentally prepared. After all, he started out in White Eagle. Now he was cooperating with various companies, but White Eagle only had Xinghai, which had been decided long ago. Naturally, someone on White Eagle's side would be restless.
Otherwise, he would not have anticipated the White Eagle Command's recent contact with him.
But technology is different now than before. He has always had a close relationship with the White Eagle Ship Girl, and now he has begun to prepare for the subsequent road-paving links. Although he will definitely not turn his back on them, he can't stick too closely to them all at once.
"So Saratoga, what kind of technology do you think is suitable, or can be used?"
Yang Sikang asked with a smile, Saratoga frowned slightly, and Lexington did not speak.
Yang Sikang didn't believe that Saratoga had not considered this issue in advance. This was not an emergency contact that was made on the spur of the moment, but a formal communication with a scheduled time in advance!
So Yang Sikang was not in a hurry and just watched Saratoga perform solo with a smile.
After two minutes, Saratoga said helplessly:
"It seems that Commander Yang has not considered cooperating with White Eagle in satellite technology?"
"I don't mind collaborating with anyone on satellite technology, but..."
Yang Sikang stretched out his voice, then spread his hands and said:
"I'm working with White Eagle on satellite technology. Doesn't that mean I have to deal with people in the government? I'm not interested. Forget it."
As he spoke he patted himself gently, and Saratoga didn't know what to say.
There was no way. No one would forget the bad things that the White Eagle government did when Yang Sikang just became the commander. A new commander who was the focus of attention was sniped in the construction dock of the home port. Everyone knew who did it and who ordered it.
Not to mention the records of Yang Sikang fighting with WBI people in the villa area.
However, the launch of satellites was something that the White Eagle Command could not fully control, so this was the response given by Yang Sikang.
Want to discuss satellite cooperation? Sure, just leave it to the KanColle!
Saratoga had nothing to say about his response. After all, in terms of relationship, the White Eagle Command had been annoyed with the White Eagle Navy for a long time, and Yang Sikang's action was also better for the White Eagle Command. She just thought about it symbolically and changed her words:
"So, Commander Yang, what do you think?"
Yang Sikang smiled and said:
"I have a plan to modernize the Saratoga. If it is rebuilt in my development shipyard, it can be made even more advanced, like the Warspite."
Saratoga was obviously a little shaken when Yang Sikang said this, but after only two or three seconds, she put away the idea.
“These are all things that are beneficial to individuals, but the scope of their application is too small.”
Saratoga looked at Yang Sikang and said seriously:
"Commander Yang, you know the changes of Siren better than us. The enemy is getting stronger, but the general combat effectiveness of our ships is difficult to improve at a comparable speed. In this case, due to the gap in individual combat power, more and more people will be required to participate in the same area.
Even if we have a large number of ships, we can’t afford to deploy them everywhere. But we don’t want any area to be abandoned due to lack of defense, so…”
Saratoga sighed and said:
"If Commander Yang can come up with some technology that is more widely applicable and can effectively improve everyone's combat effectiveness, then the previous problems will not be a problem. After all, only by ensuring the safety of the domestic waters can we have the spare capacity to allocate manpower to prepare for the Star Sea."
Yang Sikang listened to these words, but even though Saratoga said them sincerely, he did not believe them completely.
It is not surprising that Saratoga had such considerations, but it is pure nonsense to say that White Eagle is unable to defend.
The problem of defense force is basically non-existent in the White Eagle, especially in terms of the number of mass-produced models. Although there are many problems due to the conflicts and bad relations between the navy and the ship girls, the White Eagle is far from falling to that point in these basic matters.
Saratoga is also a master in this area, speaking half truths and half lies, but unfortunately Yang Sikang is also an experienced person.
However, this was exactly the direction of development he hoped for, so Saratoga's words just happened to suit his wishes.
"The technology is there, but you may not be able to handle it."
Yang Sikang smiled:
"But I need to confirm first. Saratoga, are you sure that as long as I have a technology that can be universally applied to all ships to improve combat effectiveness, you can solve all other problems?"
"Of course!"
Saratoga answered without hesitation, but Yang Sikang shook his head and raised his finger to emphasize again:
"I'm talking about all the problems in Xinghai's construction. All of them!"
Saratoga frowned slightly, and Lexington next to her said:
"Yes, we are sure we can solve it."
"elder sister?!"
Saratoga looked at Lexington in surprise, but Lexington looked at Yang Sikang and said:
"So, what technology are you talking about, Commander Yang?"
"Well, words are not enough, let's do something practical. You two can ask Essex to stay with me for three days, and then you will see the answer."
Saratoga frowned, but Lexington readily agreed.
After discussing this matter, Yang Sikang breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to other things, this matter is obviously the most important. After all, as long as Xinghai can be established as he wishes, many subsequent things will be easy for him to handle. The only problem now is how to get hold of the "door" of Xinghai.
The research on the Mirror Sea has not been able to proceed as expected, and what is available now may not be enough to support him in completing his previously planned goals. It seems that he has to find another way.
Thoughts flashed through his mind quickly, but Yang Sikang did not show any of them on the surface and immediately started talking about other things.
However, it can be seen that the headquarters also cares most about technology and matters related to the starry sky. Although a lot of other things were discussed, they were basically ambiguous and only mentioned in a few general sentences.
The approximately two-hour communication time was soon up. After the communication ended and Cleveland put away the equipment, Yang Sikang leaned back on the sofa and turned to look at Princeton next to him.
"How is it? Do you feel that it is different from what you thought?"
Yang Sikang asked with a smile, but Princeton shook his head:
"As expected of you, Saratoga-senpai. Not only in combat, but you're also good at these tasks! I still have a lot to learn!"
It turns out that in the eyes of die-hard fans, the childish behavior of idols will be automatically ignored.
